What is happening

Lord willing SFOI will be in Indianapolis, IN, April 3 - 6, to preach Christ during the NCAA Men's Final Four Tournament. [Along the way to the Final Four is March Madness (see details below) which would be good venues for preachers across the US. The details and schedule of March Madness is below for reference].

SFOI is looking for evangelists to join the Final Four team to preach the Gospel to the fans and local citizens; minister to them in the moment and to potentially refer them to a Bible teaching church or ministry for discipleship.

The goal is to evangelize and minister to the fans at various locations in Indianapolisas they come and go from the fan activities like the Final Four Fan Fest, the March Madness Music Festival, Reese’s® Men's Final Four Friday; the games Saturday and Monday at the Lucas Oil Stadium and to the local citizens who are in these areas as well. 

If you can't attend "Sponsor An Evangelist" (donate the fee) for someone to go in your stead: SAE.
